Apparently the USN has confirmed they are real and that the Navy still has no explanation for them. The Navy also claims they were not authorized to be released. I have to ask myself is there something deeper going on here. It is almost like the USN is trying to draw attention to these videos. Why?
The scientists at UKs SETI program want to get the public’s input on how we should respond to alien contact.
OK, stay with me for a few minutes. As you know, UFOs have been in the news lately. I blogged about the Navy’s new rules regarding reporting by pilots. Well, recently, searching for something to watch, I came across Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying saucers on Netflix or Amazon Prime (I forget which). Of course, I had heard of Lazar before. He’s been a staple of the UFO community for years. Frankly, I’m not particularly convinced by his stories. Yet, watch that documentary, and then read this article, and tell me if it doesn’t sound, at least somewhat, like what he is describing.
I will say up front that I am a UFO skeptic. However, I have an open mind, and I love a good TV show. I was a big X-Files fan. I first became aware of the USAF program, Project Blue Book, from the 1978 TV show Project U.F.O. which was supposedly based on the files of Project Blue Book. I used to like the show. So naturally, I was excited to see the History Channel was coming out with a new series based on the same premise.
I watched the first episode and it is….OK. Nothing great. Its no X-Files. The stars don’t really bring anything to the table. Based on the first episode, they plan on taking great liberties with the underlying actual UFO incidents. I’ll watch at least a few more episodes, and give it a chance.
An interesting report on a recent UFO encounter that prompted an F-15 scramble. I wonder what it was?
